NTT DoCoMo reportedly debunked a rumor claiming that they penned a deal with Apple regarding the iPhone 5 and iPad 3.
iPhone 5 and iPad 3 rumors intensified this week after multiple reports from Asia circulated on the internet like the Sharp LCD panel rumor involving the iPad 3, the 4-inch iPhone 5 rumor and the latest is this week’s rumor involving the Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo.
According to a Nikkei Business article posted on Wednesday, NTT DoCoMo’s executives allegedly met with Apple’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tim Cook mid last month to discuss the alleged iPhone 5 and iPad 3 deal. The report claimed that the two parties have agreed retail the upcoming Apple devices including the retail agreement and the initial order that the wireless carrier is required to buy.
Aside from the so-called iPhone 5 and the next iPad called the “iPad 3,” (names expected) the rumor also added that Apple’s new devices will include the Long Term Evolution technology, which is faster than the current HSDPA technology used by the iPhone 4S.
Surprisingly, NTT DoCoMo denied the issue. The short-lived rumor, according to the wireless carrier, is not true. According to the translated statement posted by 9to5 Mac, NTT DoCoMo said that no such deal was made last month, adding that as of this week, the two companies “don’t even have any concrete / specific / tangible negotiation.”
Ouch.
We always have to take internet rumors with a grain of salt, like what we’re always saying but it is worth noting that majority of (correct) information about the iPhone, including the new iPhone 4S, started as rumors online like the dual-core CPU, 8-megapixel camera, and even the voice assistant Siri.
Here’s the fact: Apple will release an LTE device/s in the near feature because the company is now feeling the heat of foreign and domestic competition courtesy of Google’s popular platform, the Android. In fact, majority of new Android devices have LTE now, including the newest Nexus device from Google, the Galaxy Nexus that is poised to run under the banner of Verizon this month.
